Publisher's Description

Your high school students probably think they know a lot about Jesus. But do they know how the stories of Jesus life relate to their own? If you want to get them thinking and talking about Jesuswho he really was, and what that means for them todayyou have everything you need right here. The latest addition to the best-selling TalkSheets series, High School TalkSheets: Life of Christ gives you easy-to-use discussion starters and the tools to lead students into meaningful dialogue about Jesus. The one-page, reproducible handouts offer provocative questions in a compelling design that cover everything from the prediction of his birth to his ascension. Students will delve into each aspect of Jesus life while looking at it through the lens of their own world and applying it to their own lives. These TalkSheets present every aspect of Jesus life in a way that young teens can connect with as they learn to apply the lessons to their own lives. TalkSheets makes the Bible relevant and engaging for students, while offering helpful hints and optional activities to help your youth ministry team effectively facilitate great conversationswithout a lot of prep work.

We achieved a new level of involvement and interest within the Youth Group when we began using the Talksheets & different teaching techniques. The group was 'engaged',the time flew as they broke into smaller groups then shared. The focus became the topic rather than each other!
